Temporarily off air message

I'm getting "Temporarily off air messages" on several channels including Syfy, National Geographic and now TCM. These seem to occur about three hours after I turn on the channel. I caught the message coming on when I was recording something and it asked me to press a confirm button then went to the message. I've tried resetting the cable box and that doesn't work. If I change channels and return, the message goes off, but it's a nuisance if I have to get up at three in the morning to do this if I'm recording something I want to watch the next day.

This is SDV. It should not occur if you programmed your DVR to record the program. Which DVR are you using?

Are you sure that this is happening on your DVR when you are recording the program?
